Patience young padawan.... this was horrible when first opened. At 15 minutes it had an overwhelming menthol vibe.
At almost an hour it is actually very nice. Light body for a Shiraz- think the Viognier lightened and brightened it. Once it opened up, I get a nice cigar box balanced with a touch of mint versus straight up menthol cigarettes.. less fruit forward than most Shiraz I’ve tried. Leans toward the more tannic side, but it’s a pleasant dryness when balanced with a smoky and spicy profile.
Would but again if the price is decent.... but make sure I have time to let it breathe... a lot.

Balanced. Not overly jammy. Well built. Ripe aromatics.
